2012 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · AU12 TMX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the mechanical history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed the most recent test in January 2026 at 121,811 miles, this followed a significant failure just three days prior at 121,765 miles. The trend shows a recurring struggle with front-end suspension and steering components, indicating that while major faults like the offside front brake pipe and steering rack joints were addressed, the underlying wear is only managed once it reached a point of failure. At 121,811 miles, this fourteen-year-old Kangoo has averaged approximately 8,700 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle. The data shows steady usage intervals, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 4,700 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which helps explain the accelerated wear on rubber bushes and mechanical linkages. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front geometry and braking system. The record repeatedly flags issues with the nearside front inner suspension arms, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar linkages. You should check for any remaining play in the steering rack and inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, as these have been multiple points of failure. Furthermore, the excessive corrosion found on the offside front brake pipe noted in January 2026 necessitates a thorough check of the rest of the braking lines and the subframe to ensure structural rust is not spreading across the chassis.
